General Admissions & OTCAS Letters of Rec/Using a letter service

[aubreylanger]

Hi everyone! I'm applying for the 2022 cycle and was wondering if anyone had experience with using a letter service for the Letters of rec portion? My professor requested to use it since it would mainstream everything, but I'm not sure how it all works haha. Any advice is appreciated!

I haven't used a letter service personally but if you only apply to schools through OTCAS essentially it does the same thing. The people who you request a letter from would only need to fill out their recommendation once and you use this to apply to multiple programs. From my experience a majority of schools use OTCAS already which does streamline the process but there are some programs that do not. I know because of this I specifically only applied to schools that used OTCAS.
